Abstract:

This article is focused on determination of malt grist and spent grains porosity and permeability using measurement of differential pressure of the air passing through the layer of malt grist and spent grains. For preparation of malt grist were used different disintegration equipment (two roller mill and disc mill). The method of differential pressure measuring is used for the determination of porosity of malt grist layer, defined as fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume. Measurement confirmed the logical assumption; the higher-pressure difference is above and below the spent grain layer, the lower value of porosity.
